Blue Ridge High School Theatre will bring the beloved Rodgers & Hammerstein’s musical, “Cinderella” to the stage this weekend.
The show will be held in the Blue Ridge High School auditorium, Saturday, April 25 at 7 p.m., and Sunday, April 26, at 2 p.m.
Tickets are available at the door and are $7 for adults; $5 for students and seniors; or a family price of $20.
High school chorus teacher and show director Amy Zakarauskas said the costumes, sets and backdrops for Cinderella are the most elaborate ones used since she’s been in the district.
Zakarauskas said, “There are many seniors in the cast that have been with me since they were in the sixth grade. Seeing them grow and develop over the years has been amazing. They’ve been lovely to work with.”
The show stars senior Julia Stanley as Cinderella; with Allan Weed as Prince Charming and Faith Galu as the fairy godmother.
Stanley, who last year portrayed the drunken Miss Hannigan in “Annie,” said taking a turn as a fairy tale princess has been fun.
“It’s a less difficult role than I’ve usually been cast as. It’s been fun being a princess and the center of attention,” Stanley quipped.
Rounding out the royal cast are juniors Zach Morris as the king; Lexi Button as the queen; and Sierra Marriot as the king’s herald and squire.
Senior Caroline Bartkus takes on the role of the wicked stepmother, supported by junior Autumn Holgate and sophomore Skylar Secord as Cinderella’s ugly stepsisters.
